Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὁλοκληρία. In the NT this word is found only in Ac 315, where it is rendered in the Vg zztegra sanitas: cf. F Oxy I. 1238 (iii/iva.D.) πάνυ θαυμάζω, υἱέ pov, μέχρις σήμερον γράμματά σου οὐκ ἔλαβον τὰ δηλοῦντά μοι τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁλοκληρίας ὑμῶν, “1 have been much surprised, my son, at not receiving hitherto a letter from you to tell me how you are” (Edd.), 2, XII. 14788 (Gnostic charm for victory —iii/iv. A.D.) δὸς νείκην ὁλοκληρίαν cadlov (/. σταδίου) kal ὄχλου τῷ προκειμένῳ Σαραπάμμωνι, “grant victory and safety in the racecourse and the crowd to the aforesaid Sarapammon” (Edd.), 7.
